Installation
Planning Information
Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the
Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.
Safety Codes and Standards
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
STEP 1: Ventilation
Requirements
Refer to the Ventilation Planning Guide for approved
ventilation combinations.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a THERMADOR vent hood. Due to the
high heat capability of this unit, particular attention should
be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it
meets local building codes.
Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The
Ventilation
Planning Guide
indicates the ventilation hood options and
blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use
with all THERMADOR
®
ranges.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the
rangetop is not recommended.
IMPORTANT
:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with
single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or
inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local
building codes and/or local agencies before starting to
assure that hood and duct installation will meet local
requirements.
NOTICE:
Most ventilation hoods contain combustible
components which must be considered when planning the
installation.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
•
For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the rangetop. Where
space permits, a hood larger in width than the
rangetop may be desirable for improved ventilation
performance.
•
For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the rangetop by a minimum of 3" (76
mm) on each side.
2. Hood Placement:
•
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the
hood should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the
rangetop cooking surface.
•
Use a 36" (914 mm) minimum clearance if the
hood contains any combustible materials such as a
wood covering (see
).
3. Consider Make-Up Air:
•
Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source
of outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and
insulated homes.
•
A qualified heating and ventilating contractor
should be consulted.

WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward
the range. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with the appliance
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or
unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the
air upwards do not have any restriction.
